With “Out of Hospital”, Minister for Family Affairs Max Hahn is introducing a scheme from 1 October that gives older people the time, security and support they need after a hospital stay.

For the most part, the residents are doing well. However, I get told every day by older people that they never want to be imprisoned again. I can understand that very well. We will therefore do everything in our power to ensure that everyone can live their lives independently, including in retirement and care homes.
